Question

I am trying to resize a Bitmap using the below code, I am receiving an error on the 2nd line:

Image src = Image.FromFile(@"D:\Microsite\TestASP\Images\logo.png");

Bitmap newImage = new Bitmap(600,600); //error occurs on this line

using (Graphics gr = Graphics.FromImage(newImage))
{
    gr.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
    gr.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
    gr.PixelOffsetMode = PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality;
    gr.DrawImage(src, new Rectangle(0, 0, 300, 300));
}

The error I get is

url formats not supported

Answer 1

I suspect your D drive is mapped to somewhere other than the local machine.

Try this instead of your first line (I know it’s not very pretty, it’s testing a hunch):

Image src = Image.FromStream(new MemoryStream(new WebClient().DownloadData(@"D:\Microsite\TestASP\Images\logo.png")));
